Writing about FreeBSD

Day 1 | 18:05 | 00:25 | AW1.120 | Tom Jones


Note: I'm reworking this at the moment, some things won't work.

The stream isn't available yet! Check back at 18:05.

As a project we have notoriously great documentation. The handbook and man pages make it easy to find out how to do anything you might want to on a FreeBSD system, whether it is setting up a network or debugging kernel locking.

Explaining the changes we make to improve FreeBSD? We are less good at communicating what we are up to.

For the last 6 months I have been writing regular status reports about changes in the FreeBSD network stack using a tool guided approach to automate finding and managing what to write about.

In this talk I’ll explain how I am trying to improve communication around FreeBSD development and how you can get involved in writing about FreeBSD.
